The 60's backdrop was also quite entertaining and dredged up many memories (well done).<br />The writing was "spot-on" as they say. Well paced, edited, and a smooth prose style.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06944201855929407520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-42434784211315658352015-01-23T17:29:24.712+00:002015-01-23T17:29:24.712+00:00Wonderfully written story, inviting you into the w...Wonderfully written story, inviting you into the world of summer boredom and kids coming up with unique, fun cures. Loved the trip down nostalgia lane, from Boo-Boo and Yogi to the names "Buttercup and Sunflower." (Oops...guess I'm showing my age!) Fun read, and as Beryl says, we could use a few more stories like this that raise the spirit and make us laugh.

I really enjoyed this well told story, easy and captivating at the same time.

Even Brooke's defiant stand resulted only in a cigarette addiction (which she probably kicked once she reached maturity.) We could do with more stories like this, that raise our spirits and make us laugh; especially with so much grimness going on in the world at present.

The seriousness of the young aspiring towards sophistication and rule breaking - from a central position of innocence was delicious, and the denouement a great ending.
